Book 6 Death’s Requiem by David J. Gatward

Music can be murder.

When the body of internationally-renowned vocalist Gareth Jones is found hanging in the tower of a church, the walls daubed in occult symbols, the world of classical music, and the local dales community in which he grew up, is shaken to its core.

With the worst winter in years sweeping through Wensleydale, the spectre of a friend’s death haunting one of his team, and a killer driven by forces darker than he could ever imagine, Grimm and his team are up against the creator of not just a masterpiece, but a symphony of pain.

And it’s up to Harry to make sure that when the curtain comes down, there’s no chance of an encore…

Book 7 Blood Sport by David J. Gatward

Some games have teeth.

When the bloody remains of a missing gamekeeper’s dog are discovered on the moors, it soon becomes clear to DCI Harry Grimm and his team that this was no wild animal attack.

Thrust into the violent, money-driven world of illegal dog fighting, and with the worst humanity has to offer seemingly always one step ahead, Harry’s need for justice, and his own fragile self-control, will be tested to the limit.

Some people will do anything for money.

And one detective will do anything to stop them.

Book 8 Cold Sanctuary by David J. Gatward

You can’t always shelter from the storm…

With good friends, a new romance, and now even his own dog, DCI Harry Grimm’s new life in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales seems too good to be true.

So, when the mangled body of a local farmer is found in a hay baler, and one of his own team is beaten half to death, he realises that perhaps it is.

In a place that prides itself on the warmth of its welcome, Harry and his team are about to discover just how cold things can get. Because some people are more welcome than others. And the hills can hide the darkest of sins.

A murderous puzzle.

A compromised crime scene.

One DCI whose determination to nail the killer could cost him his life …

Detective Harry Grimm can’t catch a break. When his much-needed vacation is interrupted by a call reporting a decomposed corpse, he races home to examine the gruesome remains. Learning the young woman was tortured, he’s stunned when the peaceful countryside site explodes, destroying evidence and causing more death.

Uncovering clues from the victim’s car, Grimm struggles to keep up with a cunning killer when he discovers yet another body. But when the seasoned DCI examines the grisly murder and compares forensics, he’s alarmed when the patterns match those of a brutal drug dealer he put behind bars years back.

Can this hardened cop nab a wily crook before his own blood stains the picturesque dales?
